FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
- Diluted earnings per share increased 7% to $0.61 per share for the first quarter of 2017
compared to $0.57 per share for the
same quarter a year ago.
- Total loans increased $164
million, or 6% annualized, excluding loans held for sale, to
$11.4 billion for the
quarter.
"For the first quarter of 2017, our total loans increased
$164 million or 6% annualized to
$11.4 billion. Also, our net
interest margin increased to 3.49% during the first quarter
compared to 3.36% in the fourth quarter of 2016 mainly as a result
of the payoff of high cost borrowings and higher interest rates,"
commented Pin Tai, Chief Executive Officer and President of the
Company.
"We are happy to announce that on March
20, 2017, the Federal Reserve Board approved our application
to acquire SinoPac Bancorp, the parent of Far East National Bank,"
added Dunson Cheng, Executive
Chairman of the Board of the Company. The acquisition remains
subject to receipt of Taiwan
regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of customary
conditions.
FIRST QUARTER INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
Net income for the quarter ended March
31, 2017, was $48.9 million,
an increase of $2.8 million, or 6.0%,
compared to net income of $46.2
million for the same quarter a year ago. Diluted
earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, was $0.61 compared to $0.57 for the same quarter a year ago.
Return on average stockholders' equity was 10.73% and return on
average assets was 1.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to a return on average
stockholders' equity of 10.66% and a return on average assets of
1.43% for the same quarter a year ago.
Net interest income before provision for credit
losses
Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased
$9.7 million, or 9.5%, to
$112.1 million during the first
quarter of 2017 compared to $102.4
million during the same quarter a year ago. The
increase was due primarily to an increase in interest income from
loans and a decrease in interest expense from securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, partially offset by a decrease in
interest income from investment securities.
The net interest margin was 3.49% for the first quarter of 2017
compared to 3.42% for the first quarter of 2016 and 3.36% for the
fourth quarter of 2016.
For the first quarter of 2017, the yield on average
interest-earning assets was 4.07%, the cost of funds on average
interest-bearing liabilities was 0.80%, and the cost of
interest-bearing deposits was 0.69%. In comparison, for the
first quarter of 2016, the yield on average interest-earning assets
was 4.09%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing
liabilities was 0.89%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits
was 0.69%. The decrease in the yield on average interest earning
assets resulted mainly from higher deposits at the Federal Reserve
Bank. The net interest spread, defined as the difference
between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost
of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.27% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2017,
compared to 3.20% for the same quarter a year ago.
Reversal for credit losses
Reversal for credit losses was $2.5
million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to
$10.5 million for the first quarter
of 2016. The reversal for credit losses was based on a review
of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses at
March 31, 2017. The following
table summarizes the charge-offs and recoveries for the periods
indicated:

expense for the first quarter of 2017 was also reduced by
$2.6 million in benefits from the
distribution of restricted stock units and exercises of stock
options.

The allowance for loan losses was $115.5

allowance for loan losses at March 31,
2017, decreased $3.5 million,
or 2.9%, from $119.0 million at
December 31, 2016. The
allowance for loan losses represented 1.02% of period-end gross
loans, excluding loans held for sale, and 240.9% of non-performing
loans at March 31, 2017. The
comparable ratios were 1.06% of period-end gross loans, excluding
loans held for sale, and 239.5% of non-performing loans at
